| Hanger-On Registered: Jul. 01  | Hancock Scaffold Collapse Kills 3 Sat Mar 9, 6:35 PM ET By BRANDON LOOMIS, Associated Press Writer CHICAGO (AP) - Scaffolding from the landmark John Hancock Building fell on a busy downtown street and crushed cars Saturday, killing three people and critically injuring four, a fire department spokesman said. Unusually high winds were whipping through the area, but it was too soon to say if they caused the 25 feet of scaffolding to fall from the 43rd floor, Fire Department Cmdr. Tim Stokes said. Winds gusted up to 58 mph at a downtown airport around the time of the collapse, according to the National Weather Service (news - web sites). Those killed were in three cars that were crushed by the debris, Stokes said. Glass also rained down on the crowded streets. No crews were believed to be working on the scaffolding Saturday. Two people suffered less serious injuries, Stokes said. The 100-story Hancock building, the city's third-tallest building, anchors the north end of the city's busy Michigan Avenue shopping district. Streets in the area were closed and traffic rerouted after the accident, in part due to fears of more falling debris. You be the judge: Unlucky lottery? or Sucks to be you. I say Unlucky lottery.. it's just like that car that got hit by the rolling boulder! pipeline P/O, FF/EMT Extraordinare  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | it's sucks to be you, the people were just unlucky, but not super abnormal coincidence unlucky. i think for it to be lottery, one of the dead people would've had to be let's say, a vacationing construction worker who survived a scaffolding collapse a few weeks before, thus then receiving some compensation pay allowing him to take said vacation. need me? try: crxgirl@opieanthony.com | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | Yup... those people who survived WTC but crashed on the way to the Dominican Republic... unlucky lottery. Everyone else on that plane with them? Sucks to be them, even though being in a plane crash is not really common, and it is indeed unlucky. NOT a lottery, though.
